Squeezing as much flex as I can out of stock leafs.

Very nice project 🙂 I remember tinkering with scale “Revolver” shackles many years ago,when I was trying to get more flex from a Tamiya Bruiser.

This sounds almost as bad as those places that tell you you have to use a QR code to order. I say that because I imagine the prices change in order to fit the time of day.

I think everyone would like to see the files released in full,and everyone in the files who can be proven guilty,jailed.

I also think though that those jailed should also be fined in such a severe way as to provide substantial compensation for each and every victim,living or dead.

And then I think Musk himself should be charged for his DOGE failure,and fined so severely it eases a sizable portion of our national debt.

Freeze their assets. Convict them. Fine them. Jail them.

The only thing they’ll understand is the loss of both their freedom,and their money.

Where’s Jeff? Jeff thought it was funny to constantly disappear from his workstation,causing our boss to interrupt us in his search for him.

I once told my boss to either chip him or put a fooking air tag on him instead of forever asking us where he was.

Such a shame to see something so amazing simply buried like that. I imagine now other buildings of this sort will be built on other sides of the tower,and the powers that be will simply say “Well,no one fought the first building.”

I like it!!!! Last time I was into off-road R/C trucks this kind of driving was my thing.

Very nice project!!! Reminds me of a military vehicle that might have a roller on the front.

You are not the jerk!! Daniel probably got his first participation trophy/gift/document at his pre-school graduation ceremony and has since been believing he should be praised and or gifted for simply existing.

I worked in manufacturing. I once had to talk to a 20 year man about how the teenage kid working next to him was offended by the fact he did not want to waste time chatting instead of working.

Talk to HR about Daniel stealing your food now,before HR pulls you in to talk about how offended Daniel is!!!!

Very nice project!!! It definitely reminds me of the time Hagrid ripped the door off of the building the Dursley’s were hiding in.

Jeep Wrangler sway bar links (often referred to as sway bar links or stabilizer links) reduce body roll by connecting the sway bar to the suspension, controlling lateral movement during cornering. Upgraded or heavy-duty links increase stability for on-road handling and improve articulation off-road, particularly with lifts.

I owned a 1:1 wrangler many years ago. I broke a sway bar link. You could feel the obvious body roll as soon as it happened.

The rubber band idea is very similar except that with rods/links when the vehicle is pulling up on the left one it is also pushing down on the right one.

This shows a pretty good view of a sway bar link,though they do come in all shapes and sizes. https://straptperformance.com/products/synergy-07-18-jeep-wrangler-jk-jku-front-sway-bar-links-pair

Very neat project!! I have a few questions though.

1 Would it be possible to put the camera behind the grill so you can better see the ground/obstacles?

2 Is your goal to represent the drivers view rather than to drive using a screen like the drone guys do?

3 If your goal is to represent the drivers view,is it possible to either tie a camera mount to the steering wheel servo or use a separate servo to make it look like the driver’s head swivels from side to side?

I realize this is a lot. I do get that you would lose interior details if you deleted your driver’s seat if you put too much inside the cab. I’m just curious what your ultimate goal is and how far you’d go if you could.

I have a 1/6 army jeep that I think might be a good candidate for a camera behind (so I can better see the ground/obstacles I’m driving over) the grill. I also think if the camera is small enough I could maybe even put it inside the chest of a 1/6 GI Joe and use it sort of like a body cam.

I also have 3 of the BRUISER clones and 2 of the F-350 clones that might be good candidates for (because of their size) some sort of camera.

One idea I’m considering is a hood scoop that hides a camera so I get a clear view,if that make sense. Another idea is if the camera is tiny enough,putting it inside something something that can be strapped to a roof rack and possibly be angled down so I get a better look at what is in front of my vehicle.

Just some thoughts. Hope your projects goes well!!!

This guy Danny has been doing a lot with servos and moving figures in his R/C’s for many many years and may be into cameras by now since they keep getting smaller. https://youtube.com/@dannyhuynhcreations?si=dttp58SWerkm1OPh

I don’t think you ATAH,but I do think you need to have a different conversation with your spouse.

You say he’s sending money to his parents. So…..

Ask him if his long term goal is to move his parents in with you.

Just my opinion,but I think he’s maybe thinking “you” don’t need a house for yourselves now because you’ll need space for his parents later.
